Summary
Details

""Federation and the British Colonies; a Paper of Suggestions"" (1887) presents a considered argument for the strategic and practical advantages of federating the British colonies. Penned by Patrick Hore Warriner Ross, this historical document offers insights into the political thought of the late 19th century regarding imperial governance and colonial administration.

Ross meticulously outlines the potential benefits of closer union among Britain's overseas possessions, addressing matters of defense, trade, and governance. He advocates for a system that strengthens both the colonies and the mother country, fostering a more cohesive and efficient empire. This work provides a valuable historical perspective on the debates surrounding colonialism and imperial federation during a pivotal era in British history.
